The song finishes side one of the vinyl album, abruptly, and creates a weird kind of silence until you get up to turn the record over.

[@scottamichie]

Yes. The “they developed” and “never stopped experimenting” is so true...but...from their very BEGINNING they were doing all that-what they brought home from from Hamburg after their first trip in 1960 was completely revamped and expanded in 61 and then especially in’62 to where they were fully formed and ready to hit the ground running-and now writing their own songs-in ‘63 with their debut album, Please Please Me. Their 8 original songs were stuff never before heard in pop music!

Ultimately, it was too ambitious as an idea and caused disharmony more than the harmony the whole concept had hoped to bring.

Great song. John recorded this screaming to Yoko. Yes Billy Preston stayed with them all throughout 1969 as a friend from the old Hamburg days, he brought back some of their youthful joy, and kept them from doing unmendable things to each other that last year. Another song that shows a basic blues riff and thirteen words, and some cool bass, and the best drummer in the world, and you get an awesome song. John wanted this to be as few words as possible, (He wanted one word) but they settled for 13. I want you so bad babe , she's so heavy, it's driving me mad

I had to do some counting Mike 😀

Thank you for doing one of my favourites! Csnt wait till you get to I am the walrus! It feels like they are creating a mandala with this song.

Lennon wanted that abrupt ending so it was intentional.

This is one of the sexiest guitar leads I've ever heard. Thank you, George.

[@jimmyro16]

John plays lead on this, per George :)

I was 14. My older brothers were Beatlemaniacs. Abbey Road was the first record that I was able to buy with my savings. We couldn't understand that that sound was possible. Everything was magic

The cover photo of The Beatles walking across the zebra crossing on Abbey Road was taken on August 8th, 1969. This was also the day they finished recording I Want You (She’s So Heavy).

I really love your reactions..they're so pure and naif, exactly as they should be. The Abbey Road album still sounds amazing, after so many years. It was a multilayers record; you can hear nice songs, amazing tunes and some masterpieces, all mixed up. After listening this album i guess everybody feels a multiple whirlwind of emotions inside, as they might reflect, as a mirror, the huge variety of music styles inside this unbelieveable album..

Yes, Harri, Billy Preston ! Thanks for your videos !!!

[@dondean9899]

saw Paul in an interview he was asked who he was influenced by and Paul replied with what for me was a brilliant answer he said who ever he was listening to at the time

[@HarriBestReactions]

It is a great answer

The Beatles basically took any sound, genre, even creating their own, as they flew to celestial heights and back time and again.

Thanks to those that took them out of the pubs and sent them to America. I always preferred the album "Rubber Soul. Harri your reactions and comments are awesome.

[@obbor4]

We didn't play Beatles tracks, Harri. We played Beatles albums! It ain't over until it's over!!!

[@lurx2024]

This was the last song that all four Beatles collectively got together to record, so in my mind, instead of the song's sudden ending, it goes on forever.

[@susanbenson4201]

Imagine hearing this live in a small bar and catching the eye of a lovely on the other side. As the eye gazing becomes more intense, as the need grows, this song is the conversation between each and the end is the embrace. F’ing intense!!! ☮️❤️

Back in the day, when we only had vinyl LPs, this was the end of Side 1. That final sudden ending was the signal to get up, flip the record, and play Side 2, starting with "Here Comes the Sun" - quite a contrast! Then, the rest of Side 2, which is just brilliant stuff
